Greg Dean's College of Comedy Knowledge:
Greg Dean
has the longest running stand-up comedy school in America . . .since 1982. In over two decades of teaching workshops, Dean has innovated what may be the only technique-based approach to learning comedy. This sets him apart from all other instructors who only teach you their opinion of what they think is funny. His approach works to bring out your sense of humor - where other comedy teachers seem all too content with imposing their own personal styles. Dean has trained Whoopi Goldberg and hundreds of other successful, working comedians. As the author of the book Step By Step to Stand-Up Comedy, Greg Dean can also teach you something only professional comedians know. . .being funny pays. |
